Temporary Works Coordinator Course Overview
A Temporary Works Coordinator in the construction industry oversees and manages temporary structures and systems. A temporary works coordinator course (TWCTC) teaches learners the knowledge and skills to understand, plan, and manage temporary work safely and effectively.
Temporary works can be complex on small or large sites, so understanding safety and risk management is important for on site coordinators. This course will explain the Temporary Works Coordinator's role and the processes of safely conducting temporary works. Those looking to progress in their careers from the coordinator role must take the CITB Temporary Works Supervisor Training Course.
